Pet safety guideAbout Pansy
Pansy (Viola x wittrockiana) is a cool-season hybrid annual with a centuries-old garden history, producing large, velvety flowers in an extraordinary range of colors — from solid purples, yellows, and whites to dramatically 'faced' bicolor and tricolor patterns. Its compact form and cold tolerance make it a staple of fall and winter container and bed plantings.

Care essentials
Grow pansies in full sun to part sun; a site with morning sun and light afternoon shade extends bloom life in NE Florida's warmer spells. Plant October through December for best performance through spring.
Keep soil consistently moist; water at the root zone rather than overhead to prevent petal damage and fungal rot. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture. Plants flag quickly in dry conditions during warm spells.
Plant in well-drained, organically rich soil (pH 5.4–5.8); amend sandy Florida beds with compost before planting. Apply a controlled-release balanced fertilizer at planting and supplement with a liquid bloom fertilizer every 3–4 weeks. Deadhead faded flowers regularly to extend the blooming season.
